An angry and "betrayed" Quentin Tarantino decided
to abandon his latest film, The Hateful
Eight, after a script
leak earlier this week. According to Tarantino, he only gave the script to
"six motherfucking people." But one of those motherfuckers gave it to someone who leaked it online.

The script is an ensemble Western
with obvious parts for Madsen and Dern, as well as Tarantino stalwarts like
Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz. Jackson and Madsen would likely
both play bounty hunters returning human plunder to a town called Red Rock in
exchange for hefty rewards. Their characters, a former major in the Union army
and a man named John Ruth, dominate the first two of the script's five
chapters.

They run into a Southerner named
Chris Mannix on the road, and three of them, along with their driver — a living
prisoner and three dead bounties strapped to the roof — arrive at a haberdashery
to take shelter from an oncoming blizzard. Yet the proprietors, Minnie,
Sweet Dave and her other colleagues, are nowhere to be found. In their
place are four men, a Southern general (likely Dern), an alleged hangman, a
Frenchman named Bob and a cowboy named Joe Gage.

Mistrust, coffee and violence
ensue.

The Wrap also notes that the script is "set almost entirely in two settings – a stagecoach and the
haberdashery" and that the story is divided into five chapters: "Last Stage to
Red Rock," "Son of A Gun," "Minnie's," 'The Four Pasggengers" and "Black night,
White Hell."

For better or worse, the document is 146 pages of pure Tarantino. Enjoy!
